Introduction To Lighters

A lighter is a small fire starter. Mainly used for fire, smoking, but also for cooking and other fire. The main components of the lighter are the firing mechanism and the gas storage box. When the firing mechanism moves, sparks are emitted to the gas area and the gas is ignited. The ignition mechanism is the most active part in the evolution of lighters, and it is also the part with a more complex structure. According to the characteristics of the firing mechanism, lighters can be divided into flint steel wheel lighters, piezoelectric ceramic lighters, magnetic induction lighters, battery lighters, solar lighters, microcomputer lighters 6 kinds. The gas used in lighters is mainly flammable gas. Kerosene was used in the early days. Butane, propane and liquefied petroleum gas are used today. They are pressurized and filled into the air tank, and once released into the air, they absorb heat and vaporize and expand rapidly, which is easy to ignite. The original lighters were derived from flint fire guns. The spring trigger, when pulled, strikes the flint to produce a spark that ignites the dry leaves. The ancestor of modern lighters can be said to be the tinder box and the CHUCK MUCKRS tinder box in Europe in the 16th century. They both work on the same principle, both use lighter iron to generate sparks and ignite tinder. The difference is that the tinder box's tinder iron is chained to one side, while the tinder box is completely integrated. The latter is Chinese. Soon after the world's first pistol came out, the first early lighter also appeared, because it was changed from a pistol, called a tinder pistol. The lighter has also long been used as a status symbol and office decoration. It was invented by Alfred Danhill. Modern lighters can be divided into liquid lighters and gas lighters according to the fuel used; According to the firing mode can be divided into grinding wheel lighter and electronic lighter.
